Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last post. I’m really enjoying my vacation and I even managed to take some photos!
We went to Ireland‘s Eye yesterday, a beautiful tiny island with nothing on it except seagulls. :D Th...
2019-05-26 09:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostGuys, I desperately need a vacation. So I‘ll be going to Ireland to visit friends. That means no more art from me this month, but I’m just completely worn out anyways.
I hope the trip can help me recharge and come back with lots of ener...

I woke up at 4 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. There were all sorts of things rolling around in my head. It’s always like that when I’m about to do something new (like the upcoming Schoolism course). But I cannot wait to get into...

I couldn’t resist making a stupid picture! But in all seriousness, thank you all so much! I don’t know what I would do without you. I‘d probably do some job that I hate. But instead, I get to paint whatever I want. THANK YOU. 🧡🧡🧡 2019-05-10 15:09:30 +0000 UTC View Post
I‘ve been playing with my new (old) iPad today! Now that I finally have some brushes that feel nice it’s getting to be a lot of fun. I continued on this illustration in Photoshop though. 😊

Another big detailed illustration is on the way! I just can‘t keep it simple anymore. But I really love telling small stories in my artwork and I don’t know how I ever worked any other way.
Whenever I sit down and just draw a random fac...

Yaaaay, I just finished this Illustration and it actually turned out better than I expected when I finished the sketch. I especially enjoyed working with all those blue hues and rendering the clouds. ☁️

The sketch is done! This one was a lot of fun. The location is actually the Shimonada train station in Japan. I hope I’ll be able to visit it one day. It’s right at the see and looks beautiful. I have talked about this before, but taking the t...

I don’t know why, but somehow I think girls with headphones and penguins go well together. Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish the sketch tomorrow. There‘s going to be a train station and MORE PENGUINS. Don’t ask me why, I just had the idea ...

I made an alternate colour scheme during the livestreams with Adobe. This is the one I brought with me, just in case I‘d screw up the other one. But now, I kinda like this one better. So I might just do it all again and render the background a s...

Lorena Lammer, Kim Myatt, Chantal Horeis and I are doing another livestream on Thursday, 11 April at 7 PM EST. We‘ll draw and chat a bit and we‘d be thrilled if you came to hang out with us.
I told you about the whole Billie Eilish contest, right? This is my sample entry I‘m painting for Adobe. There were these shapes in the description that were supposed to inspire the image, and to me they looked like water reflections. So here‘...

I posted a first draft of this a while ago and now, after getting some distance, I sat down and finished the design. I decided to get rid of one moth and to just keep one. I think it just gives a better read and more iconic shape. And I‘ve also ...
